Territory wars and traffic add light randomness
Sniper Elite 4
Wind direction and enemy patrol timing add first-run uncertainty
Optimization6 vs 6
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

Stats, gym, weapon skill, and routes reward systematic play
Sniper Elite 4
Synchronised shot timing and route planning reward methodical preparation
